Ferrari F430

[Kris]

Thought it came out ok? Thoughts?

[MCWB]

I think it needs half a stop more exposure Kris, although it may just be this monitor at work.

Very nice Kris, my absolute favourite car at the moment (hardtop), love the way you can always see the motor. I think your colour is a bit off, doesn't seem Ferrari red to me.

[mdboo]

Yup, i agree with MCWB.
The background is a bit dark...or it could also be my monitor ^^
Nice work/car!

Hey it would look good in my shed, LOL but yeh good pic. I think it looks ok and not always the best of places to get pictures.

[Kris]

I've got the RAW file, I could add that stop no?

Red not deep enough? hm

What is the recommended color space I should be using in the camera and Photoshop? or does this not matter?

[Kris]

Here is attempt two

[Glen]

Much better on my calibrated monitor

Reflected light from the red caused by the lighting will cause colour shifts - this is where the ”art” of PP’ing helps in this digital age.

Beautiful car and pic

[Kris]

Thanks for the tips - I still need to spend more time PP it seems.

Still looks a bit orange on my monitor. Perhaps I should get a better monitor !!! That said, the lighting at the show was a wild mix of lights that looked great to the eyes but ordinary on camera

[Kris]

Yeah it wasn't easy! Alot of my shots were dud

Here's another

I also had trouble getting near some cars so they all got cropped very tight.....

Hey Kris,
I think the photo is fantastic.
I actually like the first (slightly darker) image myself, it makes the background less distracting.
Both versions are really good though.
Well captured especially in those conditions.

Thanks

That Maybach was amazing! I've got a few shots of it too but nothing to write home about..

Great shot Kris, great car too I like the second/lighter version better.
